Operation

Introduction

• This user manual serves as a quick reference to the screen, functions and indicators on your IntelliFire Touch IFT2-RC450 Remote control.
• A remote control is not included with this kit. An RC450 remote is recommended to get maximum usability from the system. The remote will automatically configure to control the installed accessories as shown below.

SCREEN

FUNCTIONS

Turn Flame On/Off

• Toggle this function to turn ON or OFF your appliance.
• NOTICE! If your appliance is equipped with a Power Vent, the flame will come on after the programmed pre-purge delay.

Thermostat

• NOTICE! This feature is only available for use on heater-rated appliances. Decorative appliances are shipped from the factory with the thermostat function disabled.
• You can set and maintain your desired room temperature with the thermostat function. This function automatically adjusts your appliance to maintain the desired set temperature (ST).
• To achieve the most accurate thermostat function, place your remote control in the same general space that you want to have the temperature controlled by your appli-ance. For best results, keep your remote control away from direct radiant heat from the appliance, adjacent windows and doors, HVAC vents, and direct sunlight.
• To use the thermostat function, access the main menu screen on your remote, and select thermostat. Next, select your desired set temperature and press SET to confirm the setting. The actual room temperature (RT), measured by your remote control, will be displayed in the upper right corner of the main menu screen. To turn the thermostat function off, select thermostat on the main menu screen and select OFF in the bottom left corner of the temperature setting screen.
• The thermostat function will automatically adjust the flame height based on the difference between the RT and the ST. As the RT rises closer to the ST, the flame height will automatically adjust down.
• During thermostat use, a manual adjustment of your flame height will result in the control exiting the thermostat mode and entering the standard on/off mode.

Thermostat with Heat Management

• Depending on the HM1-HM4 PACM outputs your appli-ance is using, the control will adjust the flame height and the blower settings (when applicable) to better maintain a consistent heating value.

Flame Height

• You can set your desired flame height level to affect the ambiance and control the heat output.
• Your appliance will remember the previous flame height setting and adjust the flame to that level 10 seconds after start.

Timer

• For your convenience a timer can be set up to 180 min-utes to turn off your appliance. The timer will turn the flame off automatically at the selected preset time.
• To use the timer function, press “Timer” on the main screen, select time by using the numeric keypad, then press “Set.” To turn the timer off, select timer from main screen and select OFF.

Child Lock

• A child lock is available underneath the battery cover. When the lock is enabled, the screen will lock and no functions can be selected. The lock icon will appear on the remote control.

Lights

• If your appliance is equipped with lighting features, use this function to adjust them to your desired intensity. The lights can be adjusted whether the flame is on or off.

Accent Lights

• If your appliance is equipped with either clear lights or colored lights, you can use this function to adjust the intensity and colors.
• If the appliance has the color accent lights, you can adjust the color selection as well as run the “Color Cycle” which is a lighting mode that cycles through all available colors.

Heat Management

Heat-Zone (HM1)

• If your appliance offers heat management and you wanted to have a Heat-Zone option, it would be connected to the HM1. HM1 will automatically turn on the heat zones when the IFT2-ECM tells the heat zone to turn on.
• There is no fan speed adjustment on the HM1.

Heat-Out (HM2)

• If your appliance offers heat management and you wanted to have a Heat-Out option, it would be connected to HM2. This IFT2-ECM will automatically turn on the HM2 if no accessory is connected to the HM1 output. If you have both HM1 and HM2 with proper accessories, you can go back and forth between HM1 and HM2. It will always start on HM1, there is no fan speed adjustment on the HM2.

Heat-Zone (HM3)

• If your appliance has an adjustable Heat-Zone-Gas option, it would be connected to the HM3 output. This output will give the customer the ability to adjust the Heat-Zone-Gas three speeds and on or off.

Heat-Out (HM4)

• If your appliance has an adjustable Heat-Out option, it would be connected to the HM4 output. This output will give the customer the ability to adjust the Heat-Out three speeds and on or off.

Fan Speed

• If your appliance is equipped with the fan feature, use this function to increase or decrease the amount of heat released into your room. A built-in delay timer will turn the fan on three minutes after your appliance has been running to prevent cool air from being pushed into the room. If the flame is turned off with the fan ON, the fan will continue to run for 12 minutes then shutdown as long as the flame stays off.
• Your appliance will remember the previous fan speed setting and automatically adjust to that level 3 minutes after start-up.

Power Vent

• Power Vent technology makes it possible to install a gas appliance virtually anywhere. The Power Vent is a fan powered accessory that pulls exhaust from the appliance providing longer and more flexible venting configurations.
• A Power Vent is a standard accessory on some products and an option on others. When a Power Vent is detected, a pre-purge of 120 seconds is automatically required. During this time, the power icon is temporarily replaced with 2min, 90s, 60s, and 30s, denoting the countdown until the appliance turns on. All other functions, except for TURN FLAME OFF are disabled during this time.
• The Power Vent is always ON when the flame is ON.
• When the flame is turned off, a post-purge time of approximately 20 minutes will occur.
• Cold-climate function and battery backup are disabled if a Power Vent is used.
• Note: PRIMO-II series appliances operate with the same technology as described above, with the power vent integrated directly into the appliance.
• Optional Feature
